Transition to autonomous vehicles: Feasibility and implication in the near future

In the light of increasing vehicles leading to more accidents, congestion and pollution, this paper talks about the need of autonomous vehicles on the basis of recent studies and technological improvements. It also deals with the challenges to fully autonomous vehicles and the technologies that could accelerate the transition to them. In this paper we have described the usage of assisted driving in order to remove the day to day challenges the driver has to face while driving and also to remove the challenges autonomous vehicles are likely to face. It was observed that autonomous vehicles have the potential to far surpass the human driver in most of the scenarios.
